Description

Sulfoglycolipid P is a naturally occurring anionic glycolipid characterized by a sulfated galactose headgroup linked to a ceramide lipid anchor. It serves as a critical biomarker and functional mediator in cell recognition, immune modulation, and neural development research. This compound is essential for pharmaceutical R&D, diagnostic reagent development, and advanced studies in glycobiology and neuroimmunology. Sulfoglycolipid P CAS NO 80701-96-8 is supplied under stringent quality controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and biological activity integrity.

Application

• Immunological research: Investigation of T-cell activation and natural killer (NK) cell regulation
• Neuroscience studies: Role in myelin structure, neural adhesion, and multiple sclerosis biomarker validation
• Diagnostic assay development: Capture ligand in ELISA and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) platforms
• Glycomics profiling: Reference standard for mass spectrometry (MS)-based lipidome analysis
• Vaccine adjuvant research: Evaluation of sulfoglycolipid-enhanced antigen presentation
• Stem cell differentiation models: Modulation of oligodendrocyte precursor cell maturation
• Drug delivery system design: Functionalized liposomal membrane component for targeted CNS delivery
• Biosensor surface functionalization: Immobilization on gold or SPR chips for carbohydrate–protein interaction studies

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request. All batches are verified for identity (FT-IR, HPLC retention time matching), purity (≥95% by HPLC), residual solvents (meets ICH Q3C guidelines), and endotoxin levels (≤0.1 EU/mg). Testing adheres to ISO 9001-certified laboratory protocols and supports GMP-aligned workflows for pharmaceutical and diagnostic applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at –20 °C under inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation and hydrolysis. Due to its hygroscopic nature, maintain relative humidity below 30% during handling and storage. Minimize exposure to ambient air during weighing or dissolution.
